I really wanted to title this post "An Ode to the Pouf" due to the extreme love I have towards this versatile home accessory. Please excuse the over-the-top adoration as I list the ways this functional piece can add value to any home.

In this roundup the pouf can be spotted being used as extra seating for house guests or as a foot stool for tired feet. They can be used to bring a pop of color to any room, without replacing the main furniture items, or as an impromptu coffee or side table. In image 5 the vintage pouf, placed in just the right spot, creates an adorable vignette and can even be, as the main image shows, an upscale perch for man's best friend.
